Following a free premiere event with 13,500 screaming fans at Madison Square Garden, “The Walking Dead” has kicked off its sixth season with impressive social activity, drawing almost 20 million social engagements between premiere week and Episode 6.03 and ranking as the #1 most engaging drama.

One final social media buzz has Daryl being killed off as he has a new motorcycle show, Ride With Norman Reedus, on AMC.
We found out that Morgan was keeping one of the murderous Wolves (the ones who had just going on a rampage in Alexandria) hidden and locked up.
Morgan spends a bit more time in his cell and Eastman keeps talking to him. In fact, he got even crazier, making it his new life’s mission to simply kill anything and anyone who crosses his path. This is proven when he murders two survivors who had been tailing him in the woods. But here are my predictions for what we will see in the episodes for the rest of the season.
Eastman schools Morgan in aikido, which is all about redirecting attacks, and he tells Morgan about his life before the world ended – it was his job to evaluate criminals up for parole.
With a calm attitude and stories of his own, Eastman was gently restoring Morgan’s mentality, as he kept preaching how important human life is. None of them deserved to die and all of them had story left to be told when they were killed off. So why all of the sudden get precious about Glenn?
The network also re-upped “Talking Dead”, the live after-show Chris Hardwick hosts in which each episode is dissected.
The Walking Dead is based on the comic series written by Robert Kirkman and was first developed for television by Frank Darabont.
Steven Yeun – Hey, we have to assume that sooner or later he is going to turn up on “Talking Dead”, though we also figure that it’d be unusual to see him here if the entire episode is about Morgan.
Morgan’s sanity returned thanks to a few kind treatment from Eastman (played wonderfully by John Carroll Lynch), a stranger who helped him face his demons and taught him the ways of Aikido. I think that a new character that has not been introduced yet will finish the job. Eastman makes sure they get the IDs of the walkers and he carves it into the cross. When Morgan points it out, Eastman admits to killing him, but notes that it never gave him peace. I don’t know what I was expecting really, especially since I knew from the start that he would be dead by episode’s end. Morgan is not at the stage that Eastman was in, which is he will not kill anything ever again. We understand Morgan’s mission.
